The Elimination Chamber, quite possibly the most brutal and vicious match ever created by the WWE, is a massive structure standing at 16ft high and weighing just under 10 tons. It is a true highlight of the PPV year for wrestling fans. Many wrestlers have entered and few have been the same after the match. With 13 total chamber matches taking place since it’s inception, it’s safe to say there have been plenty of great moments, with a lot of them being nothing short of epic.

From the Rated R superstar Edge winning his first World Heavyweight Championship, to ‘The Heartbreak Kid’ Shawn Michaels emerging from beneath the chamber to attack The Undertaker, bodies have been broken, and careers have been shortened inside the menacing structure.
